✦ The School of Life: The Good Enough Parent, Introduction
Fertility is decreasing, we need more flexible full-time and available kindergartens and crèches. Is that really enough? What does long-term childcare look like in a society split into nuclear families? We will openly discuss what is difficult about parenting and find creative and perhaps radical ways out of it.

Reading:
✦ The School of Life: The Good Enough Parent, Introduction
The birth rate is falling; we need more flexible work arrangements and accessible daycare centers and nurseries. Is that really enough? What does long-term child care look like in a society divided into nuclear families? We'll have an open discussion about the difficulties of parenthood and look for creative—and perhaps even radical—ways to address these challenges.
